I have found that people who are against marriage in general, are often passionate in promoting marriage definition to be changed to include relationships embarked upon by people who identify as gay. This strikes me as odd and frustrating, to put it mildly.
Being that you identify as lesbian, I wonder if you have put much thought into marriage and its impact on society and its meaning therein. Not meaning this as a slight, just wondering. I, myself, went from being "anti-marriage" (more like ambivalent) to wanting to be married. Hence, I have thought about it a lot.
What rights would be denied with civil unions? Can you please answer the question? The rights of gays and lesbians to have their relationships seen as being the same as marriage? I can't think of any other "right" that would be lost in a civil union. But...these kinds of relationships are not the same. Just like trans women are not women.
Is this a "right"? The right to dictate to other people "corrected" perceptions, beliefs, speech and thoughts? Can you see where I'm coming from?
Why can't we have different names for things? Why are people trying to break the language? Subvert it? Control it? Pretend that nothings real?
Why can't men be men, women be women and marriage be marriage and non-marriage relationships be anther kind of relationship? Why don't these relationships already have a name? People have been acting out in this way with people of their same sex for as long as there has been murder. Why hasn't a name been chosen? Makes you think, don't it.
It's not my job to teach you what rights would be lost. There are many, as I said, including access to dying lovers, emigration rights, etc. You are pushing religious dogma that has killed so many. .
"access to dying lovers, emigration rights" all of these things could have been covered by civil unions.
My religious dogma is this: Sin brings death and separation. Jesus breaks the chain of sin and death by living a sinless life, dying on the cross and resurrecting himself into a new life. He wants too and will save you if you want to join him in this resurrection, he will take your sin into him so that you can be reconciled to God the father. Please consider this as the people around you celebrate resurrection Sunday.
